This dog is suitable for hunting small game with a shotgun. The Basset Artésien Normand was bred in France for hunting on foot. Because of its short legs, thickets are no problem for it.
Basset Normand: Care
From time to time you should use a rubber brush to remove the loose hair from the coat. The ear canals must be carefully cared for – preferably with a special ear cleaner. Cotton swabs should not be used as they may push the secretions deeper into the ear canal. If necessary, the claws must also be trimmed.
Basset Normand Artesien: Charakter
Social and friendly, gregarious and gentle, independent, good sense of smell. The Basset Artésien Normand barks deeply and likes to let his voice ring out – something to keep in mind if you intend to keep the dog in an apartment.
Artesian Normand Basset: Bringing up
Although this basset hound can be a bit headstrong, with patience, love, and persistence, you can teach them a lot. It is important to be consistent at all times.
Artesien Normand: Compatibility
In their country of origin, these dogs mainly live in packs, so they get along well with other dogs. If you get them used to cats or other pets early on, they should be fine later on. Although visitors are announced loudly, they can look forward to a warm welcome.
Movement
You should regularly go on long hikes with this basset hound, you should always be careful: if he discovers a game track, he can quickly be gone (this applies to all dogs in this group in general). If the basset hound really does run away, put a piece of clothing with the owner’s scent on the spot where the dog “got lost” – the dog will usually be found at that spot soon.
